Performance Car Club

I propose a club for car owners to discuss higher performance cars:

Any style, any brand, any era.

NO TRUCKS, SUV's or BIKES, JUST FAST CARS!

Dale,

Of course, any Mustang (well, except the lame straight 6's from the early days) is a performance car. I like the 'V' emblem on the fender, cool!

Fun Cars I have owned:
Car # Model
1 1972 Pontiac LeMans, 400-4BRL, Black/Black
5 1990 Ford Probe GT, 2.2L Turbo, 5 speed, White/Gray
9 1995 Mazda MX-6, 2.5L V6, Auto, Gold/Tan
11 1996 Ford Probe GT, 2.5L V6, 5 speed, Emerald Green/Tan
13 2006 Acura RSX, Type S, 2.0L, 6 speed, Copper/Black

Yeah, I like quick cars!

Greg

This is NOT my car, but my dad's. I drive an old Accord ;) But this car does haul total arse and we've been up past 145 on the track. I got my "speed fix" that day at Loudon.

I'd be up for a performance club!





what he said about it... I think he paid less than 10k for it when he originally bought it... I can't imagine what he's put into it!
I purchased this car about 10 years ago as a nice street version of the 84-911. Over the years, my addiction to DE events, has prompted me to change about every part of the car, most more than once. Today, the car has a 92, 3.6 engine with custom headers and exhaust, a 915 transmission with oil cooler, special gears for 3rd, 4 th and 5th gears, and a Quaife differential. The car has a full roll cage, racing seats, 993 TT brakes, carbon fiber fenders, fiberglass hood and bumpers, and fuel cell. All of the suspension has been modified, much of it adjustable at the track. I did all of the work myself including the custom pain work (Ray Ayer helped me lay out the design). I hesitate to say that I don't plan to make any more changes, but we'll have to see about that.

The Acura is an amazing little car, 8100rpm redline, 200hp,
0-60 in 6.1 sec, 1/4 mile in 14.8 seconds, 27MPG highway,
leather seats, Bose Sound with 6 CD in dash changer,
moonroof. It's a gas!
